No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Krosno is a bit of a difficult area to define. It's actually an area in Poland where a lot of glass is made, but I think it can come from different makers.I used to see plenty of labelled Krosno in new household decor shops, but then the labels changed to read LSA, which is an importing and exporting company.

TKMaxx is a huge household and clothing discount shop. It sells new goods that are surplus elsewhere, or ends of lines, or the last of last year's fashions.It isn't a glass maker, but it does sell a lot of new Chinese glass.

I've been seeing these in that shop for the last ~ 4-5 years.The shelves are not clean, moving things around in the shop will create marks, customers break things and drop them. "Age-related wear" can appear quite rapidly.It's not a very posh shop. Sometimes, unscrupulous people will make marks with sandpaper to indicate "age".

I do have to keep quite a close eye on what turns up there. Lots of it does make its way into fairs or auctions, described as something else.

Many years ago, I bought quite a lot of very nice Beranek there.
